Came Too Soon.

There is revival in progress in a
town not;far from Boston, and various in
cidents have marked the progress Of the
work of grace. Among others is re-
lated the following which has at least
the merit of illustrating a phase of human
nature: Two ladies quarreled about a
year since, and have since then refused
to recognize each other. One of them,
moved by an eloquent sermon delivered
by the revivalist on the need of brother
ly love. went to her neighbor and en-
deavored to effect reconciliation. She
expressed her regret that there should
have been hard feeling between them,
took rather more than she felt to be her
fair share of blame, and said that she
had come to ask if they could not be
friends again.
The other woman heard all this in
silence, but with an unsoftened glitter
in her eye.
''That's all very WE'LL she comment
ed, spitefully, at last, ssbut you ought to
have come six months ago.
The spark of grace in the heart of the
caller fared up in an instant and went
out. The blood flushed in her cheeks
"No," she said, rising with much
dignity. 'sYou mean that I have come
six months too soon."
And now the breach between the
pair is wider than ever.-Boston Cou-
7ler.

the hive. Such combats meet with no
opposition, the members Of the colony
standing by and watching the struggle
with intense interest. The first use the
victor makes Of her power is to kill off
all her sister queens in their cells. It
is a curious fact that when two sister
queens fighting for the crown get into
such a position that each has the power
to kill the other, they at once retreat.
Patriotism is greater than natural hos
tility, and neither is willing to leave the
colony without a queen.
Late in the season, when the time for
sWarning is past, it happens sometimes
that new queens are Matched. The
workers then realize that the old queen
must remain with them for the winter,
and offer the young queen no protec-
ton. The fury Of the old queen meets
with no obstacle as she transfxes one
by one in their cells with her sting her
hated rivals.

Heroes and EIeroines.

There are few who endure bodily troubles
without complaint. Did you ever meet
among the heroes or heroines of your
acquaintance-if any such there have been
-one with yellowish cast of countenance
and that jaundiced aspect generally, which
the most unpractised eye recognizes as the
product of a disordered liver, who did not
complain, and peevishly too, Of the soreness
of the recalcitrant organ, of pains beneath
the right shoulder blade, of dyspeptic symp-
toms, constipation and headache? Ofcourse
you never did, and of course the Individual
was NOT using Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
or he would not so have looked-so have
complained. 10 purify the blood when con-
taminated with bile and conduct the secre-
ton into its proper channel, to re-establish
regularity of the bowels, Danish bilious

plete digestion, nothing can approach in

liver and kidney and bladder inactivity are

Sharfdan,s Scouts.

Washington Dispatch to the Boston
Traveller: A former member of Gen.
Grants staff during the war said to the
Traveller correspondent tonight while
chatting about the great commander:
| know a great deal about Sheridan's
campaign through the Shenandoah
Valley, about which so mnch has been
said recently in the newspapers, on ac-
count of the attack of Gen. Rosser up
on the Lieutenant General Of the Army.
| know exactely what Sheridan's orders
were, because I wrote them from
Grants dictation. The Valley of the
Shenandoah was really the supply
station for Lees army, and Grant
knew that he could strike the Confed-
crates a heavier blow by taking their
food from them than he could by win
ming half dozen battles. His orders
to Sheridan were most o,r>,::eit,
and afterwards he often spoke in lords
of praise at the manner in which the
work was so efectually done. OF
course Rosser doesn't like Sheridan, al
though heis splendid fellow, if he
has stepped over in this affair. Dur
ing most of the time that Rosser was
in Sheridan's vicinity Little Phil kept
him on the jump. and naturally man
is q little rancorous in his feelings even
twenty-five years afterward.
| was with Grant when he got the
first news that Sheridan had laid the
valley desolate waste. We were at
City Point one afternoon when the
guards brought in one Of the toughest
looking customers that ever saw.

Business After the War.

An Albanian, who is worth $780,
900 to-day, was asked how he got his
start when the war closed. .sDo you
mean what was the first thing 1 did?''
.'Yes""Well I headed across the country
for Selma. When I got within ten
miles of the town stopped at a house
for dinner. It was a place owned
by an old chap who cid a heap of blow

not gone to war himself. He wanted
to charge me dollar greenback for
the meal. offered him $4,000 in
Confederate money. He got mad, and I
said: Here old man, is the money you
helped to make, and Tn carrying
around two bullets shot into me in the
war you helped bring on. Now come
out here!' He came out, and I set to

They had on old Con ederate uniforms
and were disreputable pair. Grant
looked at them closely and then he
smiled. Both saluted, and then he
called them by name and shook hands
with them.
s.One of the men took a little ball of
tin-foil out of his mouth and handed it
to the General; the other unscreWed a
button on his coat and took out some
tissue paper. These were sheridan's
dispatches to Grant, and the two Union
scouts, for such the men were, had
travelled over 200 miles around the
Rebel army, and sometimes through
their lines, to reach the Commanding
General with the good news. Both

Taste in whiskey.

..When you hear people talk about
this whiskey or that being good, !" said
an agent of wholesale liquor house
to a Chicago Herald reporter, ..you
can say to yourself that the man who
drinks and smacks his lips knows
nothing at all about it. Telling good
whiskey from bad is an art which few
people acquire. I buy thousands Of
barrels Of whiskey every year, and, as
| buy on my own judgment, it is not
conceited in me to say that know
something about the business. In the
first place, no man can be a judge of
Whiskey who drinks it. For two years
I have tasted whiskey dozens of times
day, but in all that time / have not
drank as much as gill. A glass of
whiskey day would destroy my USE
fulness. Drinking the liquor blunts the
fine sense of taste whiskey expert
must possess, and absolute temperance
is the first essential. More than that,
a man must have a fine natural taste to
begin with, and must be careful what
he eats or drinks. can't eat onion, or
cheese, or drink beer or even soda
water, or any highly-spiced food, and
retain that keen taste on which I'd be
willing to base an order for SO OF 100
barrels of whiskey.
When / started in this business I
spent three months educating my taste,
going to the cellar three times daily
and smelling of $50 casks whiskey Of
different brands. At the end of that
period ] was taken blindfolded into that
cellar, and, as they rolled the barrels
up to me, I told them every brand
simply though my olfactories. Reputa-
ton is everything in the Whiskey bust
ness. There are in the trade about
1000 brands, with about 40 brands in
the lead as the generally popular goods.
I can tell every one of these by taste
or smell, just as surely asif were read
ing the brands on the end of the casks.
The professional Whiskey faster always
dilutes the liquor with water, and some
times he heats the water and whiskey
together after mixing. His taste is so
fine as to be almost infallible, and it
is next to impossible to fool him. The
men who guzzle liquor may be able to tell
high-proof goods from that which is
rank and raw, but that is about all they
can do. Whiskey regulations are made
or marred by the professional tasters,
and it is on their Judgment and dictum
that the trade is carried on. As you
may imagine, man with a good mouth
for whiskey is likely to find his taste a
source Of satisfactory profit to himself.

Equal to the Emergency,

Two mothers sat opposite each other
in a car on Michigan Central going
to Toledo the other day. Each had a
baby about a year old, and each baby
came in for a share of the admiration
OF the passengers. This seemed to
make the mothers jealous, and after
thinking the matter over for awhile one
OF them leaned across the aisle and
said: 81 feel it my duty to tell you to

a Soldiers Yarn.
During one Of Napoleon campaign

During one of n apoleon' s campaign g
a detachment Of q corps commanded by
Davoust occupied the Isle of Rugen,
which they were ordered to evacuate.
They embarked with such precipitation
that they forgot one Of their sentinels
posted in aretired spot, and who was so
deeply absorbed in the perusal of a
newspaper as to be totally unconscious
Of their departure. After pacing to and
fro for many hours upon his post, he
lost patience, and returned to the guard
room, which he found empty. On in
quiry he learned with despair what had
happened, and cried, s.Alas! alas!

His lamentations excited the COM
passion of a worthy tradesman. who
took him to his house, did all in his
power to console him, taught him to
make bread-for he was baker, and,
after some months, gave him his only
daughter in marriage.
Five years afterwards, strange sail
was seen to approach the island. The
inhabitants flocked to the beach, and
soon discovered in the advancing ship
a number Of soldiers wearing the uniform
Of the French army.
Il am done for now!'' cried the dis
mayed husband. s.My breadis baked. !"
An idea, however, suddenly occurred
to him, and revived his courage. He
ran the house, slipped into his uniform,
and seizing his faithful frelock, return
ed to the beach and posted himself on
sentry at the moment the French were
landing.
"Who goes there?" he shouted in a
voice like thunder.

one in boat. ssWho are youp'

bakers in that great city, about 1000

oring, boot and shoe making, and gild-
ing especially attract foreign workmen.

MISSED SEEDING OF GRAIN.


1t often happens that strips of land
through grain fields are accidently left
unseeded, and the mistake is not dis
covered until the grain is up. In most
cases little is gained by trying to seed
after the main crop is above the sur
face, especially with grain, which ma
lures so quickly after sowing. The en-
tire width of a drill for a short space
will at harvest time scarcely be noticed,
as the grain on either side will spread
SO that the tops nearly cover the vacant
space. Usually if the stoppage has
been from the grain giving out, some
tubes will run most of the way across
the field, and these will fill up, often
suggesting that far less seed is required
for a good crop than is generally sup
posed. A failure of grass OF clover
seeding is really a worse evil than the
loss of a strip of grain, and if there are
many bad faults in the grass seeding it
were better to plow all up and try it
again. For where clover and grass
fail to catch the vacancies will certainly
be filled with weeds.

Kissane's Case Up Before
the Circuit Court.
A JURY-FIXER IN TROUBLE.
Opening Testimony in the Case Of
KOhler, Charged With ViOlat-
ing the Pure-Wine Law.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD,
SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.-The
now famous case of William Kissane
or William K. Rogers was up before
Judge Sawyer in the United States
Circuit Court this afternoon. The
case was up on argument to the de-
murrer of the complaint of the Chem
ical Bank of New York which asks for
judgment of $4,000 with interest at z
per cent. from August, 1854 and also
to enjoin him from pleading the
statute Of limitations as defense. At
torney Bergen for Kissane read a
lengthy summary from law reports
supporting the claim that it was
proper to set up as defense the statute
Of limitations even if Rogers had
changed his name to Kissane for there
was no law preventing man from do
ing that and therefore no penalty
attached to such an act. He read the
decisions of Lord Mansfield on that
point and also cited the decision in the
case of Frank Leslie, Jr., publisher of
Frank Leslie's periodicals, whose
father had changed his name, giving
the same name to his son.
Attorney Sawyer for the Chemical
Bank was arguing the reverse side of
the case when the court adjourned and
the case went over until Monday next.

the grocery store of Thomas & Weston
corner of CASTELAR, and College streets

and were extinguished before they had
communicated to an adjoining resi-
dence which is in course of erection.
Thomas & Weston, the proprietors of
the store lost stock of goods which
they valued at $500 and on which
they carried $500 insurance. The
building belonged to Joseph Mutually
and was valued at 500 and was in
sured for $3.50. Mr.. Weston stated
that he and his partner retired about
ten O'Clock last night, in their bed
room back of the store, putting out
every lamp in the establishment.
About half past one he awakened al
most suffocated with smoke and
quickly aroused his partner, Mr.. Tho
mas. They only had time to secure
their clothing and the bedding and
rush out. In second after their exit
the building was enveloped in flames.
The proprietors are unable to give any
reason for the fire. 1t was either the
work of an incendiary or rat got into
